Dope trail triple header up Big Cottonwood with my cousin today. We did three trails: Lake Blanche, Lake Mary, and Donut Falls. Lake Blanche was the longest and definitely the hardest being like 8 miles. The run up was pretty brutal, but we made it up in good time and saw three huge moose! about 2700 feet of elevation gain in the first 4 miles. After we got to the bottom we headed straight to Brighton ski resort and ran up to Lake Mary. it was only about 2.5 round trip, but it was super steep so it was still pretty tiring. The lake was dope and there was awesome cliffs for cliff jumping. The tallest one we found was about 40 feet high, and I got some cool GoPro footage jumping off of it. Lastly we ran up to Donut Falls. It was only a mile so we treated it as a cooldown. The waterfall was cool cuz it goes straight through the rock and comes out into a cool little cave at the bottom. The water was fridgid though, so I didn't jump in because the sun was going down.
